Buddy of mine had to have reconstructive surgery on half his face after he tried riding his bike when he was drunk... I DO NOT recommend it... at least not near train tracks...

I lived in Holland for 2 years. People drink and ride ALL the time, because people ride their bikes friggin everywhere. I couldn't get used to it...I was always amazed at how easy it was for them, but then again, they spend a lot of time on their bikes from the time they're like 3 years old.

I don't think I'd be very good at it ... can't imagine I'd get very far. LOL

The thing that always got me is that they do it for all distances. I mean, they refuse to walk 30 minutes if they can bike in 5-10 minutes...but I'd rather walk for 30 then fall over on my bike and smash some body part, especially my face. And it rains so much...I hate riding in the rain. It's so unpleasant.

Ya, when 'my face smashing into wet concrete' is in the "Possible Outcome" column, I generally nix it as an option.

But I can't ride a bike nearly as well as most Dutch....It's not unusual to see someone riding no hands, talking on the phone, with a giant package (like 50cm by 50cm) on their lap, and having no trouble whatsoever. I'd freakin kill myself.

The bronze and iron age tribesmen who wrote them could not prophesise the advent of automobiles(though you would think that their purported divine authors should have been able to) If they had addressed even intoxicated charioteering, the punishment would probably be death by public stoning, I mean isn't that the standard sentence in such books.
